Tractor Supply Company (TSC) will
soon be breaking ground on its new store
location at 31360 FM 2920 in Waller, next
to the Holiday Inn.
Tractor Supply’s plans have been approved by the City of Waller and construction is set to begin soon. Completion is
expected by the summer of 2015.
In 1938, Charles E. Schmidt Sr. of
Chicago, Illinois, established a mail order tractor parts business. By 1939, the
company had established its first successful retail store in Minot, North Dakota.
Today TSC is the largest operator of rural
lifestyle retail stores in the United States,
committed to being the most dependable
supplier of basic maintenance to home,
land, pet and animal owners in the coun-

Local Pharmacist Lenny Saladino to Retire
The Waller Times
Long-time Waller resident, Lenny Saladino, plans to retire this month from his years
of service to the community as a registered
pharmacist. To Saladino, his customers were
more than customers, they were friends. He
has long been known as much for his caring
personality and friendly smile as for his pharmaceutical advice.
Saladino and his wife, Pam, have lived in
Waller since 1978. Pam retired two years ago
from Waller I.S.D. after 25 years of service as a
librarian at Schultz Middle School. The Saladinos have three grown daughters who grew up
in Waller, attended Waller I.S. D. schools and
Lenny Saladino
then went on to be graduates of Texas A&M.
Their eldest daughter, Leslie, lives in
Dallas and is vice-president of On the Border
Chips, and two daughters, Lauren and Lindsey, live in Cypress and are both employed by
Waller I.S.D. Lauren is a curriculum coordinator for reading at the elementary level, and
Lindsey is a P.E. teacher at Turlington Elementary.
Lenny and Pam met in high school, and
would often visit Waller where Pam’s dad,
Welton Mehrkam, grew up. After pharmacy
school, Saladino began his career at Eckerd
Drugs in Rosenberg. However, knowing that
the town of Waller had no pharmacy, Saladino
left Eckerd’s in 1978 and established Waller’s
first pharmacy, Waller Pharmacy.
Waller Pharmacy was established in a portable building on an empty lot next to the old
Western Auto located at 1219 Farr St., where
the Waller Police Department is located today.
According to Pam, “We started the business with nothing. Family members donated
shelves and a cash register, and Lenny ran the
store by himself. I did the bookkeeping.”
It was a tough beginning, but owning a
business was a family tradition. Saladino had
two uncles who were pharmacists in New Orleans, and his grandfather owned a grocery
and meat market in Houston. As his wife Pam

WISD Committee Makes Recommendation for 2015-2016 Calendar
WISD Public Information
Waller ISD held a District Site-Based
Decision Making Committee Meeting on
Wednesday, February 4 in the Waller ISD
Board Room. Waller ISD Curriculum Director Kelly Baehren welcomed the committee,
which consists of parents, community members, district administrators and school employee representatives. Baehren opened the
meeting by discussing the Waller ISD Calendar draft for the 2015-2016 school year.
The Committee Meeting was held to discuss the 2015-2016 Waller ISD Calendar Survey results, and to review the proposed 20152016 Waller ISD Calendar. Waller ISD polls
the community to ask for their school day and
holiday preferences for the upcoming year.
WISD utilizes the survey responses to formulate the proposed calendar for the upcoming
school year.
Baehren presented the proposed calendar draft to the committee and informed the
committee that the calendar is very similar to
the current year calendar. Baehren informed
attendees that the community used their voice
via the survey responses, and the proposed
calendar for the next school year was created
based on the survey responses. The committee voted unanimously in support of the proposed calendar. The proposed calendar will
be presented to the Waller ISD School Board
for approval at the Monday, February 9 WISD
School Board Meeting.
Also discussed at the meeting were the
expedited waivers that Baehren will bring to
the board for approval at the February 9 school
board meeting. The expedited waivers will be
sent to the Texas Education Agency TEA for
approval. WISD is seeking waivers for class
size adjustment, staff development through
subject trainings, the Teacher Data Portal of
the Texas Assessment Management System,
and timeline for Accelerated Instruction.
To close the meeting, Assistant Superintendent Kevin Moran announced upcoming
District Site Based Decision Making Committee meeting dates, which will occur on May
27 and June 17 in the WISD Board Room.

A typical Tractor Supply store has
15,000-24,000 square feet of inside selling space with a similar amount of outside
space used to display rural products.
Tractor Supply believes whether
you’re caring for a backyard or a “back40”, they have the products to help you
get the job done. Both homeowners and
farmers can find what they need at Tractor
Supply, including feed, fencing, mowers,
tools, work clothing, and much more.
Tractor Supply’s philosophy states
that they are committed to understanding

the rural lifestyle. When asked, customers

Waller Wonders - Growing up wearing bespoke fashions
By Nancy Arnold
ell, aren’t I a
lucky duck?
No, a Nigerian
prince didn’t
die and live me
ten quadrillion dollars. However, I have been selected by a
custom tailor based in London
and Hong Kong to schedule a
fitting. This fashion house says
there are renowned for their
“bespoke suits, jackets, coats,
and shirts for both men and
women.” And, they’ve offered
me an appointment with their
fitter, Mr. Sam Kirad.
The
Merriam-Webster
people helped me with the “bespoke” description. It means
“made to fit a particular person, also, producing clothes
W
that are made to fit a particular
person.” In other words, custom clothing.
Somehow I don’t think I’ll
find “bespoke” (bespoken?)
clothing at J.C. Penney or Macy’s, nor at Target. Those are
my usual haunts. So, I’m going
to have to regretfully pass on
being fitted by Mr. Kirad.
Come to think of it, I grew
up wearing bespoke clothing. My Granny Wilson and
my mother made most of my
clothes when I was a child.
Granny added her handmade
lace to my dresses, and photos show the most exquisite
smocking. Gee, I probably
couldn’t afford Granny’s fashions in today’s world, where, I
suppose, they would be called
bespoke. We just called them
handmade back in those days.
Taking that little trip back
in time reminded of an odd
marketing piece that came
across my desk a couple of
months ago. To set the stage,
let’s go back to Saturday morning breakfast; maybe you’re
hunched over a big bowl of
Fruit Loops, Trix, or Coco
Puffs. Now, pour milk over the
cereal, brim full, ‘cause you
want plenty of pink or brown
milk to drink … right out of
the bowl … once the cereal is
gone.
What was the best part of
that whole experience? Ah,
yes. Drinking that sweet cereal
milk, careful to slurp up all
that deliciousness – the more
sound effects the better. And
that’s the genius behind Cow
Wow Cereal Milk. I am not
kidding. This is a real product
and you can buy it at Kroger’s.
The guy who came up with
this idea, Christopher Pouy,
originally targeted this to the
… um … taller kids … the 1835 year-olds – the millenials –
who remembered those Saturday mornings fondly. It didn’t
really fly, so he revamped his
campaign and went for the kiddie market, with such names as
Fruity Trudy, Chocolate Chip
Cathy, and Cinny Minny.
After discovering that the
high school crowd liked the
stuff, he shuffled his marketing once again to include his
original target. Sales took off,
even garnering a shout-out
from Jimmy Kimmel, who declared that Cow Wow “tastes
like heaven.” There are newer,
more grown-up flavors now:
Booyah Berry, Cocoa Loco,
Cinna Munch, and Shake ‘n
Flake (yummm … I’m thinking the milk left after Sugar
Frosted Flakes!).
Moms (and other femalesin-charge- of-the-household)
buy the groceries, though, so
Pouy also went for the real
deal. This is one percent organic milk, no artificial flavors or colors, with organic
cocoa power and cinnamon.
The six grams of sugar comes
from cane sugar, and each 8.5
ounce serving has 150 calories
(regular milk has 12 grams of
sugar). This drink won’t contribute to childhood obesity
like sugary juice and sodas.
As you’re adding this to
your grocery list, don’t look
for it in the dairy case. This is
packaged in those disposable
drink boxes … only with a resealable cap instead of the attached straw … and it’s in the
aisle with the other packaged
and canned milk. Caution: it is
a little pricy – about 20 cents
higher per serving. But it will
keep for up to a year on your
pantry shelf, so there’s part of
your trade-off.
Still … yummy cereal
milk … on the go. No dishes
to wash. Wow! Or I should say,
Cow Wow! (But don’t slurp,
okay?)
Anniversary wishes to

While I was noodling
around in the online dictionary
looking up bespoke, this teaser
floated across the top of the
screen: “Yes, irregardless is a
word. No, that doesn’t mean
you should use it.” Well, how
could I pass up reading THAT?
So here goes, exactly as written:
“Irregardless originated in
dialectal American speech in
the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech
called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as
1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that
“there is no such word.” There
is such a word, however. It is
still used primarily in speech,
although it can be found from
time to time in edited prose. Its
reputation has not risen over
the years, and it is still a long
way from general acceptance.
Use regardless instead.”
Okay, class. Our English
lesson is over. Before I run
down another rabbit trail, I’ve
closed the Merriam-Webster
site.

Valentine’s Day a Thriving Business in America
Valentine’s Day--a day for
romance, chocolates, and flowers-has been a booming day for business in the United States since the
mid-1800’s.
Although the day has deep
roots in Christianity, the secular
Valentine industry in America
began in New England in the
1840’s. That is when Esther A.
Howland, a student at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts,
began making Valentine cards
in her father’s store after she received an ornate English Valentine from a business associate of
her father’s.
At this time, Valentine greeting cards were imported, and not
affordable to most Americans.
During Howland’s first Valentine
season, she astonishingly raked in
an unheard of $5,000 profit. Her
business continued to grow as did
the popularity of Valentine cards,
particularly after the Civil War.
Through the years, the business of Valentine’s Day has continued to develop and expand.

is expected to spend $140 on the
holiday, according to the National
Retail Federation. In total, that’s
an estimated $18.6 billion in
spending on the day.
Flowers are one part of the
Valentine’s day industry that con-
tinues to grow. Today, over 224
million roses are sold on Valentine’s Day and $1.9 billion will be
spent on flowers by consumers.

contributed to the expansion of
the flower industry. The company
hires 6,000 extra employees annually just for the Valentine’s Day
season.
Chocolate is another lucrative Valentine’s Day industry, and
the Hershey Company, founded
in 1894 by Milton Hershey, is the
largest chocolate manufacturer
in America. More than half of
all consumers will buy candy for
Valentine’s Day, spending a total
of $1.88 billion.
Hallmark Cards, founded by
Joyce C. Hall in 1910, is the largest manufacturer of greeting cards
in the United States. Hallmark
creates around 1,400 Valentine’s
Day greeting card designs. Over
144 million people sent Hallmark
cards last Valentine’s Day, making
it the company’s second busiest
day, after Christmas.
Another popular Valentine’s
tradition in America is “Conversational Candies” created by
Daniel Chase of the New England
Confectionery Company (Necco)
in 1866. Necco manufacturers 8
billion sweethearts per year and
approximately 100,000 pounds of
candy hearts will be sold each day
during the six-week period between January 1 and Valentine’s
Day.
Of course, the jewelry industry also booms during the Valentine season. American Express
estimates that 46% of the 13 million Americans who got engaged
during 2014 were proposed to
during the Valentine’s Day season--totaling 3.9 billion in jewelry
sales last February.

SALADINO Continued from page 1A
said, “Owning a business is in his
blood.”
Despite some setbacks, the
small business was a success, and
in 1985, the Saladinos moved to a
new location in the Harlan’s Shopping Center. The move expanded
their store’s square footage from
750 sq. ft. to 10,000 sq. ft. With
all the extra space, a gift area was
added, as well as cards, balloons,
and other specialty items.
Each year, the Saladino’s travelled to the Gift Market in Dallas
to restock the store with a variety
of fine gifts. “Lenny loved to merchandise,” Pam stated. “It gave
him great pleasure to buy items
that would please his customers
back in Waller.”
In 1989, despite having established a thriving business,
Saladino sold his store to Eckerd
Drugs, but stayed on as pharmacist. At the time of the sale, he had
17 employees, but as the manager
of the entire store, he often put in
14-hour days, seven days a week,
leaving little time for his growing family. Not only that, but he
would often fill prescriptions after
hours for his customers because
he considered them a part of his
family.
Although he loved being a
business owner, spending more
time with his three young daughters was a great benefit to becoming a 45-hour a week employee.
He was able to help his girls raise
animals for the fair and contribute
more of his time to the community.
During this time, Saladino
served on the Waller I.S.D. School
Board for 12 years. He also helped
form the original Waller Optimist
Club, an international organization dedicated to helping children,
and was the president and a charter member of the club.
The Saladinos attended St.
John’s Lutheran Church where
Lenny served on the church council. Two of their three daughters
were married in the church.
Saladino continued as an
Eckerd’s pharmacist until 1999,
at which time he took a position
at Brookshire Brothers Pharmacy
in Hempstead. At the new location, he continued to be a people
person, and was known for leaving the confines of the pharmacy
to walk around the grocery store,
starting conversations and making
new friends.
In 2008, Saladino returned
to Waller, when he persuaded
Brookshire Brothers to open a local pharmacy, which is located at
31303 Fm. Rd. 2920. The pharmacy will remain in business after his retirement, but Saladino’s
smiling face will be sorely missed
by customers. However, he does
plan to continue to work as a relief
pharmacist on occasion.
Saladino plans to stay busy
after retirement. He and his
wife, Pam, live on a farm south
of Waller where he can engage
in his passion--raising cattle and

hay. The Saladinos are also proud
owners of a 1962 vintage Airstream travel trailer, and they intend to use it well, first to explore
Texas, and then to travel north and
discover Colorado. In addition to
travel, they look forward to spending a lot more time with their six
grandchildren.
Still with a love of entrepreneurship today, Saladino, with
partners Paul and Charles Wood,
own Lone Star Lube, with stores
located in both Waller and Hempstead, and as a business owner he
will continue to be involved in the
community.
When speaking about his life
in Waller, Saladino stated, “I have
enjoyed serving this community.
It is a great place and has been
wonderful to me and my family.
Waller has given me and my family great opportunities and I can
only say that I love the town and
its people.”
To celebrate his retirement,
daughters Leslie, Lauren, and
Lindsey are giving their dad an
Open House at the Hockley Community Center on Sunday, February 22, from 3 p.m. - 5 p.m. The
public is welcome to come and
to congratulate Lenny and to celebrate his retirement with him.
The Saladinos are looking
forward to beginning a new stage
of their lives, and it is certain that
in his retirement Lenny Saladino
will continue to make new friends
and to be a positive influence to all
he meets.

Elementary Students Visit Jr. Highs to See What Lies Ahead
The fifth grade students
of the Waller ISD elementary
schools took an exciting field trip
on Wednesday, January 14 to tour
the junior high school they will
attend in the fall as sixth graders. Waller Junior High School
Principal, Eric Meldahl, and W.C.
Schultz Junior High School Principal, Bennie Mayes, invited the
youngsters to tour the campus that
they plan to attend next year.
The field trip makes the transition from elementary to junior
high school a much easier process by allowing the students can
familiarize themselves with the
campus and course selections for
the next year. Mayes introduced
the Schultz students to the campus staff, and presented a brief

Bobcats Sign with Kilgore on National Signing Day
By Laurie Bettis
HISD Public Information
Will Smith and Fredarian Tompkins, seniors at
Hempstead High School, signed letters of intent to play
football with Kilgore College during a national signing
day ceremony held on Wednesday, February 4, at Hempstead High School. Family, friends, coaches, teachers
and administrators were on hand to witness the event.
Head Coach Ricky Sargent was excited to have two
players from the Hempstead Bobcat football team accepted by Kilgore and is looking forward to watching
them play for the Rangers under Head Coach J.J. Eckert. Smith and Tompkins have been a part of a winning
football program at Hempstead and have competed at
the post district level all four years in high school. Both
players were members of the 2011 Class 2A Division I
State Runner-Up Football team, the 2012 Regional Finalists, the 2013 Bi-District Finalists and the 2014 District
Champions and Area Finalists.
Smith was selected as a “Built Ford Tough Texas
High School Player of the Week” for the past two years in
a row. He was selected as the All-District Offensive MVP
both his sophomore and junior year and the All-District
MVP his senior year. He also earned Academic All-District honors this year. Smith plans to study business and
architecture and hopes his football skills will give him the
opportunity to attend a D1 school upon graduation from
Kilgore. His dream is to play in the NFL one day.
Tompkins was selected as the Defensive MVP his
senior year after earning first team defensive lineman
his junior year and second team defensive lineman his
sophomore year. He was also selected as the second team
defensive lineman for the Old Coach Class 3A Division
I all-state team and the Texas Sports Writers Association
3A all-state team this year. Tompkins plans to major in
petroleum engineering. Upon graduation from Kilgore,
he hopes to continue his education on an athletic scholarship at a Division I school.
Smith and Tompkins were among 31 players from
across the nation to sign with Kilgore College on national
signing day. Kilgore is part of the Southwest Junior College Football Conference. According to school records,
KC has the “winningest junior college football program in
Texas, claiming two national titles, appearing in 19 bowls
games and producing 52 first team All-Americans.”

Citizens Against the Landfill in Hempstead
BANKS Continued from page 1A
by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
and the low income quotas set by
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
None of the major factors
were addressed by Dodd-Frank;
Congress instead opted to further
empower every regulatory establishment that had fueled the crisis to
begin with.
Unfortunately, Dodd-Frank
has had the unintended consequence of saddling small regional
banks with extra burdensome regulations. Small banks were not the
ones that got the nation into the financial mess to begin with; it was
rather the large banks--CitiBank,
Bank of America, Chase, Bank of
New York--whose actions led to the
financial meltdown.
American Enterprise Institute
has reported that community banks
play a vital role in the nation’s economy, particularly in regards to small
business, farmers, and ranchers,
who are in essence the America’s
economic backbone.
Yet, due to Dodd-Frank, community banks must abandon traditional business models to redirect resources to comply with regulations,
meaning millions of Americans are
having a tougher time accessing financial services and credit.
In Texas, that means fewer
loans to small businesses that want
to expand and fewer loans to farmers and ranchers who need operating
funds through the harvest season.
Sadly, while community banks
have declined in number over the
last few years, the five largest U.S.
bank’s share of U.S. assets and domestic deposits has increased markedly. Megabanks are benefitting
from an $83 billion annual taxpayer
subsidy, the value of implicit guarantees by the Treasury, which is a
major driver in the largest bank’s
profits.
Oddly, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation data shows that
large banks have the lowest credit
quality and lowest cost of funds
in the industry, while community
banks rank the highest, yet small
banks have had to compete against
megabanks access to cheaper money in pricing loans. Also, small
banks must compete against big
lenders’ lower cost in handling regulatory paperwork.
It’s time for Congress to help

main street by easing regulations on
small banks. Small banks should
be exempt from certain mortgage
rules, allowing them to have safe
harbor for qualified mortgages.
Also, Congress should cut red tape
in small business lending, the costs
of which have fallen harder on small
banks. In addition, Congress should
prevent regulators from implementing new rules without a cost benefit
analysis and they should waive certain audit rules that have been onerous for small banks.
It is a failure of logic and lawmaking if the new wave of banking
regulations that are meant to stop
Wall Street accesses instead result
in cutting off one of main streets
economic lifelines.
These onerous regulations will
not guarantee that a housing bubble
and collapse will not happen again.
So, in essence, Dodd-Frank punishes consumers more than protects
them, and that must be amended or
over time small community banks
will continue to decline--which will
eventually make the small town
personal banker a relic of the past.
